Jeff, ®"A" is used before words beginning with a consonant sound even though the sound is spelled with a vowel (as in universe); "an" is used before words beginning with a vowel sound or with a silent "h". Some speakers use "an" before words beginning with a pronounced "h", (as an historian), but "a" is preferred before such words.¯ ®With a few standard exceptions, abbreviations are avoided in ordinary writing.¯ Prentice Hall Handbook For Writers 6th Edition Leggett/Mead/Charvat Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1974.
